The air creates friction, just like the ground. With less friction, the less pushing the car back.

The faster the car the stronger the air resistance?
i believe through watching too much top gear that the air resistance increases exponentially as the car gets faster.
How does a car increases and decreases friction?
To increase friction, the car goes faster so that the air resistance becomes greater. To decrease friction the car goes slower to decrease the air resistance acting on the car. Hope that helped:)
Why do car designers like to reduce air resistance on cars?
They do it because it makes the car faster and more fuel efficient as it is not having as much resistance pushing against it.
How does air resistance effect a car?
the more air pressure you have the more it will resist the cars movement increasing friction and increasing the energy consumption
Give examples please. Is air resistance harmful?
Air resistance is both helpful and harmful, depending on the circumstances. If you are using a parachute to slow your descent while skydiving, then you need air resistance to work against the acceleration of gravity. In that case, it would be helpful. However, if you were trying to reduce aerodynamic resistance (in a fast-moving car or airplane), then air resistance would be harmful. In a car, as it moves forward, the air pushes back against the profile of the car. This exerts a backward force, meaning that your car has to work harder to accelerate the faster it goes, because of the increase air resistance pushing back against the car. This is the reason why aerodynamics is so important in high-performance vehicle design.
What happens to the air resistance on a car as the car goes faster?
The resistance is greater the faster the vehicle is going.

Explain why air resistance is larger when the car is traveling faster?
Bikes cars and other moving objects experience air resistance as they move.Air resistance is caused by the frictional forces of the air against the vehicle. The faster the vehicle moves the bigger the air resistance becomes.
What is air resistance on a car?
Air resistance is also called drag on a vehicle. When the vehicle moves forward it must push the air molecules out of the way, this causes resistance or friction. The faster the vehicle is going, the faster it is pushing the air molecules out of the way causing greater resistance.
Can air flow increase the performace?
The faster the car travels trough the air, the more air resistance there will be so it will be harder for a car to accelerate (hence there are top speeds). However, there needs to be some air resistance for a car to move.

How does streamline help animals?
Streamline helps animals move faster so that there is not as much force on them. Think of it like a car the smoother and sleeker the car is the lest air resistance meaning the faster the car.
Why do car makers study drag?
They study drag so they can minimise the effect of wind resistance on the car so it cuts through the air cleaner and can go faster.

Which is faster a square car or a circle car?
If the diameter of the circle car is the same as the side of the square car, the square car has less resistance as the circle one and is therefore faster.
